Welcome, Moony! Nice to see you made it here.

[Moon Dragon]

Thanx Collector It's nice to finally be here.

Don't you have a thread like the Tawmis one where people can post good news about their lives?

[AndreaDraco]

Welcome Moon Dragon! Great nickname, by the way!

I'm sure you'll like it here at SHP

[Rudy]

Welcome! Your username does look familiar indeed, but my memory is apparently not what it used to be .

Hi guys i'm an italian Sierra games lover, I just discovered this beautiful website, too bad it seems it's not so active anymore.

The forums are fairly active. Like any forum these days, traffic varies over time and social media has stolen a lot of the activity that forums used to get. The main site may not seem like it has not been updated in a while, but most of the work has been diverted to the new installers. It is less work to write these installers than to try to guide people through the technical aspects of getting the games to run on modern systems over and over again.

Hi fellow Italian!

Stick around. The forums may go through ups and downs, but it's fairly active and all the old Sierra community is here!

Welcome!

PS: Fidati, qui ci si diverte un sacco. E' il posto giusto per tutti i fan della vecchia, cara, indimenticabile Sierra!

Buon giorno, Italiano Sierra giochi amante! Questo è un bel sito davvero. Se hai bisogno di aiuto, ci sarà sicuramente dare se possiamo, perché noi siamo tuoi servi umili!

(And I'm sure that I got that absolutely wrong, as my Italian leaves a lot to be desired!)

[AndreaDraco]

Oh, Rath!

How about: Buongiorno, appassionato Italiano dei giochi Sierra! Questo è davvero un bel sito. Se hai bisogno di aiuto, te lo daremo sicuramente, perché siamo i tuoi umili servi.

[Sonny Bonds]

Thank you everybody for your warm welcome! Grazie a tutti!
I'm really happy the forum is active! i didn't want to offend you

As a lot of other guys of my generation I grew up on Sierra and Lucas games. My favourite Sierra adventures are
POLICE QUEST 1&2
SPACE QUEST and LEISURE SUITE LARRY saga !

I really love text parser games (even freeware ) and...what else? it's great to be here!!

@Andrea Draco: Grazie per il benvenuto, è un sito meraviglioso, è bello sapere che ci sono ancora così tanti appassionati retrogamer e non!

[Rath Darkblade]

Well... sorry. My Italian, as I said, is quite elementary. Apart from the words that everyone knows (pizza/pasta/etc.), I know the following scene from Gilbert & Sullivan's "The Gondoliers" (set in Venice) - although, if you watch that scene, warning: the singing isn't very good.

Apart from that, I know the Italian words that I need to know in order to read music (e.g. pianissimo, fortissimo, poco a poco, tutti, crescendo, diminuedo etc.), but for other things, I have to rely on online translators - which are obviously not very good!

(But at least I was close - as in, I got most of the individual words right!)

[UPtimist]

Hi, my name is UP and I'm an alcoho- wait, that's not right. I mean, I'm a... Sierraholic? Well, maybe not quite, but there's nothing quite like a bit of Gabriel Knight on a late summer's day...

Anyway, some of you should know me at least vaguely, Andrea at least, and I was at the other GK forums as well (in fact, I've been an irregular at GK forums for a veeery long time, just veeeery irregular also ). Mainly I'm at Adventure Gamers.

So, basically, I need my Gabriel Knight talk!

(Edit): Also, I did never crack the code in the registration form of "what genre is Sierra On-Line famous for?" (or however it's phrased) I tried everything I could think of. Just lucky it wasn't the only question (though came up very often, eventually I just had to retry until I got a different question).

[Maiandra]

Welcome to the boards! What other GK boards were you at?
